I think you’re right about in-group morality.
I’m curious: do you see categorical similarity between the events of January 6 and the events of the summer of 2020?
- ceilingcorner 6y agoAbsolutely. Again, I’m not choosing a side here, just trying to observe phenomena. My own politics don’t fit neatly into a box. I think one could accurately describe both as explosions of long-standing resentment, legitimate reasons to be upset, and lack of trust in institutions, finally ignited by social media making it easy to construct exaggerated or outright false narratives.
- iambateman 6y agoInteresting. Thanks for your thoughts! To me, they are categorically different. One has “answerable” policy objectives, the other does not. One is mostly peaceful, the other mostly violent. One invites a broad base of support, the other is more isolated.
